jon karl is with the president in honolulu. he has all of the latest numbers. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. between health care briefings, the president has had a chance to get in a couple rounds of golf. but officials say today is really the deadline. if you want to have coverage by the first of the year, you must enroll today. that one-day grace period was granted because people faced long wait times on the website, as there was a crush of visitors trying to get in before the deadline. officials compare this to keeping the polls open on election day for a few extra hours because of long lines. they say that yesterday, there were well over 1 million visitors going to that website. that was a record. >> and, jon, the president signing up for this health insurance. he's already got the best health care in the world. so, what was this all about? >> reporter: well, the white house officials say this was a symbolic gesture. he does have the very best health care in the world. doctors and a medical staff that goes with him wherever he goes, e

abc's jonathan karl is at the white house this morning. it's a modest deal. but it would hold off a government shutdown for at least two years. >> reporter: a modest deal. but given what we've seen over the past two years, this counts as a major breakthrough in washington. in addition to doing away with the possibility of a government shutdown, it would also undo many of the automatic spending cuts that were scheduled to go into effect in january, including big cuts to defense. what's most striking about the deal is that picture you see right there, how it was announced. paul ryan, one of the top conservatives in washington, and patty murray, one of the most liberal senators. coming together and announcing this deal, but, george, it still has to pass and you'll see people on the left and the right, complaining about this, because, guess what? it's a compromise, and that means neither side got everything they wanted. >> okay. and meanwhile, the president getting some new polls out this morning that show he may have stopped the bleeding from that botched rollou

abc's jon karl is at the white house with more. and the administration says they will review the decision. but their position has been, it's constitutional and keeps us safe. >> reporter: that's right, george. the president himself has said point blank that this program saves lives. he said that no fewer than 50 terrorist plots have been broken up thanks to this program and a similar one that tracks internet traffic. but the judge seemed to take issue with that. saying, there's an utter lack of evidence that a terrorist attack has ever been prevented by this program. and in stark language, he said it is clearly unconstitutional and an invasion of privacy. saying, quote, i cannot imagine a more indiscriminate and arbitrary invasion than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data. on virtually every, single citizen. i have little problem believing that the author of the constitution would be aghast. >> reporter: this will now go to the supreme court. that's right. and there are several other legal challen
